Re: [PHP] scrolling data from db
Justin, Creative thinking to a smart solution. I will keep that in mind for future sites.

That sounds a little harsh! You can put a message in place of the iframe, for those who don't support it. Sorry, your browser does not support iframes, to view the content of this frame, click here. Or better still, you can actually PUT SOME CONTENT IN THERE. I have an iframe which lists multiple tour dates for a band, sorted in date order... if the iframe can be used, the user gets ALL upcomming gigs ina scroller, otherwise they just get the next 3 (using approximately the same amount of space), with a link to view all gigs. iframes CAN work in many cases, if you think about it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fourth Realm Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.fourthrealm.com Tel: 519-739-1652 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

This is certainly not PHP... a combination of javascript + css + a whole lot of testing on browsers + an understanding that it will break some browsers might do it. s will do it, s will too.

RE: [PHP] scrolling data from db
Hi Eddie, iFrames do offer a really nice solution, but they are an IE only tag. Although I can't vouch for the latest Netscape, I know that the older versions simply ignore the tag, and leave a blank spot in its place. If you know that your client base will ever only use IE, then go for it. Otherwise, you'll have to avoid the iframe. Peter At 03:17 PM 11/20/2002 -0500, Edward Peloke wrote: Thanks Peter!

I am sure I will need javascript for > this...right? Not really... Of course, you can use javascript. (I think somebody just posted--er, kindly posted--a sample code...) You can also use CSS to make the header, etc. be "fixed" on different location of your browser window. However, this approach works only on browsers that support that css. (e.g. Mozilla-based browsers like N7, etc. or Opera 6...) How about another approach using "iframes"? (Personally, I don't like frames or iframes...) It might work for you. But then again, the best way IMHO, is to divide your table into different sections or pages. Do you really need to keep them in one page?
